    Save your money. Not great.

    The meeting place was hard to find. It was the guides apartment. It was up 4 flights of stairs. We didn't make what was advertised. The pastries we made were very simple. Not great tasting. The guide struggled with the cannoli shell process. So don't really know the proper way to make them...and after all that, we made the pastries, paid to make them and we didn't even get what we made?? He kept them?

    Have fun cooking.

    I had never baked Sicilian cakes and now I want to make them at home! Antonio is good, patient and super engaging. Beautiful experience.

    A sweet experience! Making cannoli from scratch was much easier (and more fun) than I thought. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, perfect even for beginners.

    Super funny

    Antonio is super nice and makes you feel immediately at home. We made cannoli, chatted and laughed a lot. Top!

    Make & Taste Sicilian Desserts in Palermo – Learn Cannoli & More: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Palermo.

    How much does Make & Taste Sicilian Desserts in Palermo – Learn Cannoli & More cost?

    +

    Prices start at $147 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Palermo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Make & Taste Sicilian Desserts in Palermo – Learn Cannoli & More take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Palermo is not rushed.

    Is Make & Taste Sicilian Desserts in Palermo – Learn Cannoli & More worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Palermo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Make & Taste Sicilian Desserts in Palermo – Learn Cannoli & More?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Make & Taste Sicilian Desserts in Palermo – Learn Cannoli & More suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Make & Taste Sicilian Desserts in Palermo – Learn Cannoli & More?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Palermo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Palermo and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Make & Taste Sicilian Desserts in Palermo – Learn Cannoli & More start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Palermo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Palermo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Palermo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Palermo Pizza and Gelato Cooking Class with Meal and Wine, Palermo Food Tour: 10+ Tastings of Arancini, Cannoli, Wine & More, The Original Palermo Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive!). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Palermo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Palermo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    +
